An email arrived from former Leamington resident Bert Jansen now living in Beachville, Ontario: “Hi Bill. I was born in January ’45 and the first car I remember riding in was a Hillman. Not sure the year but here is a picture of it. “It belonged to our landlord when we arrived in Canada in August 1953 and he would take us around, all five of us. It was a bit crowded. Seen here is my mother Jo Jansen, Martin Tulen, my sister Elly in front and myself. My dad Gerard took the picture.” The signal light was on the door post. It swung
out to signal a turn and retracted after the turn. These were known as “trafficators.” Under the hood was a flathead four-cylinder engine and inside were seats covered in real leather. The car was named after William Hillman of England, who built bicycles before building his first car in 1907. The Hillman Minx name first appeared in 1932 and these cars were given full width bodywork in 1949, as shown by the car in the photo. This style continued until
THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk
1954. The Hillman Minx of the early ’50s was very popular in Canada. I recall a Leamington man who owned a rusty Hillman. A rear fender fell off while driving his mother home from work. He took a blanket from the trunk, wrapped it around the fender, slammed the trunk shut, and drove the car home in one piece!

Deborah Malley
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Deborah “Debi” Jane Malley (nee Switzer) on Wednesday, February 9, 2022, at the age of 68 years. Loving wife of David Malley for 32 years. Beloved daughter of the late Reg and Lorna Switzer. Cherished sister of Rhonda and Lee Johnson, Melissa and Wade Chausse, and the late Dru Switzer.

Debi participated in multiple social activities and will be deeply missed by those who knew her, including special friend Marie Bailey. Debi taught for over 30 years for the GECDSB where many dear lifelong friendships developed. Her role as teacher inspired many, both in the classroom and in life. Debi always planned and prepared, whether her favourite “Medieval Times” at school or family games nights and pool parties. She will always be remembered for her organized fun and most especially her joy of togetherness. She taught us to never underestimate the power of a plan; the knowledge was absorbed and filtered through her students back into the world, just like the love she poured into her family, which will continue to flow back out into the world that so desperately needs more love.
